Artist and author Ian Roberts has given us a gem of a book with his recently published 'Mastering Composition.' This book is an outgrowth of two events in Roberts life. As a child, Canadian Roberts joined his dad and his dad's artist friends on an annual plein aire painting trip to the United States.

At the end of each day, the painters discussed and criticized one another's work. Much of the discussion centered on composition - 'foregrounds were too cluttered,' what works for the eye in the painting, and what does not.Then, later, as a professional artist and teacher, he noticed that most of his students created paintings that were superficial and 'looked like postcards.' He decided to focus on getting his students to use their creative core and think 'behind' the subject matter: 'think first about shapes, their arrangement in the picture plane; and the visual flow being created in the painting.' 'Mastering Composition,' according to Roberts, could have just as easily been titled, 'Shapes, Shapes, and Shapes' with the subtitle, 'Their arrangement, interaction, and flow on the picture plane.' The book begins with an excellent discourse on what composition is and how one can use the book to grow as an artist. He is insistent on self-directed study which includes doing one composition (sketch) per day for one year.
